 The newest album from You Are Home arrived in my office a few weeks ago, and I've been waiting to review it because I wanted to be sure I had a few times to listen to it, first. The style is strange. It's hard to pinpoint how you would classify them. That's a good quality to have. I like listening to a band and saying to myself DAMN, THESE GUYS ARE UNIQUE. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN STYLE AND THAT SETS THEM APART FROM MOST OTHER BANDS. Of course, I don't ever really say that. But, if I decided to start saying sentences like that, then I could start with this band.
I think I'm more of a fan of this album because of the creativity that went into making the packaging. It's very simple. It stands out in my CD collection. I'm sure that Al Gore would approve of this packaging, too. It's high-quality glossy photo paper, folded in half. That's it. There you go. Bam. Suck it, plastic jewel cases.
Their bio states that you can classify them as POP/ROCK, SHOEGAZE, MATH ROCK, and PROG-ROCK. I've never heard the term math rock before, but this is definitely the day and age where people make up their own words and terms, so I guess it's alright to use that word.
There are only 5 songs on this album, which might make you feel like you're getting the short end of the stick, but I'm not so sure you could handle more songs. You need to take it slow when listening to YOU ARE HOME. Start off with these 5 songs, then see them live. I'm sure they play more than 5 songs live. If you are still able to handle it, then see about finding a bootleg cassette tape from one of their performances. Then you should have more than enough songs to satisfy your craving of YOU ARE HOME. Just remember that I did NOT tell you to do that.
Purchase this damn album!
